High-Volume Coating System for Aerospace Fasteners – 7,000+ Parts per Hour

#ThrowbackThursday to 2010:

An early milestone in automated coating for aerospace fasteners. This system featured our Chain-On-Edge conveyor and a SCARA robot with dual line tracking to transfer parts from head coating to thread coating—smooth, fast, and accurate.

Key features:

• Electrostatic bell coating on an omega loop for consistent coverage

• Automated ID marking with precision dispense valves

• Natural gas convection ovens for efficient curing

• Over 14 FPM line speed, 7,000+ parts/hour throughput

• Robotic part handling for seamless transitions

Still a benchmark for speed and reliability in high-volume aerospace coating.
